Leeb Capital Management (“LCM”) has prepared and presented this report in compliance with the Global Investment Performance Standards (GIPS®). Notes:
1.) Leeb Capital Management ("LCM") is a registered investment advisor with the Securities Exchange Commission. Prior to 2001, the firm was doing business as Money Growth Institute. Leeb Capital Management provides equity money management to retail and institutional investors. LCM’s Income & Growth Composite (“Composite”) represents fee-paying accounts with assets greater than $250,000 that are managed in accordance with LCM's Income & Growth investment strategy. LCM's Income & Growth Composite combines income generating securities, including common equity, preferred stocks, convertible bonds, and fixed income investments. Portfolios are managed to generate current income and with the objective of preserving capital. Portfolios are subject to minimal security turnover. Objectives of the portfolio are to minimize: inflation risk through current income, credit risk by focusing the majority of holdings in investment grade securities and market risk by diversifying between various income sectors i.e. REITs, utilities and preferred stocks. The composite contains both taxable and tax-exempt portfolios. 2.) The Composite was created as of November 30, 1999 which coincides with the inception of this strategy. A complete list and description of LCM’s composites is available upon request. For the periods from April 1, 1999 through September 30, 2007, LCM has been verified by Ashland Partners and Company LLP. For the period October 1, 2007 through September 30, 2009, LCM has been verified by Beacon Verification Services. A copy of the verification report is available upon request. Additional information regarding the firm's policies and procedures for calculating and reporting performance results is also available upon request. 3.) Prior to July 1, 2006 the Composite was known as the Pure Income Composite. 4.) The composite returns are compared to a custom blended benchmark. This static blended benchmark consists of 75% the S&P 500 Total Return Index and of 25% Bond Index. From inception through 6/30/08, the DJ Lehman Bond Index was the bond index used. This benchmark was discontinued in 3Q08. LCM has replaced it with the ML Domestic Master Bond Index.* Benchmarks are selected based upon similarity to the investment style of our composites and accepted norms within the industry. 5.) Valuations are computed and performance is reported in U.S. dollars. 6.) Composite returns are calculated using the aggregate method. This methodology has been applied consistently for all periods. Other methods may produce different results. 7.) Composite returns are presented gross and net of management fees and include the reinvestment of all dividends and income. All returns are gross of withholding taxes. Gross returns will be reduced by investment advisory fees and other expenses that may be incurred in the management of the account. Net of fee performance was calculated using the highest management fee charged to clients in accordance with LCM’s Income & Growth strategy fee schedule which is stated below. LCM’s advisory fee schedule is the following: 1.0% on all assets 8.) Quarterly and annual rates of return for the portfolio are computed by compounding the monthly rates of return over the applicable number of months. 9.) LCM utilizes neither leverage nor derivative instruments as a material component of its investment strategies. 10.) Composite dispersion is calculated using the asset-weighted standard deviation of all portfolios that were included in the composite for the entire year. N/A - Information that is not statistically significant due to an insufficient number of portfolios in the composite for the entire year. 11.) Performance periods of less then 12 months are not annualized. Year 1999 results are for the period of December 1, 1999 through December 31, 1999. Year 2009 results are for the period of January 1, 2009 through September 30, 2009. 12.) LCM defines a significant cash flow as an external flow of cash or securities (capital additions or withdrawals) that is client initiated. An external flow of at least 10% of the portfolio market value is considered significant. A significant cash flow into or out of an account is considered a temporary loss of discretion and as such, an account would be removed from the composite at the end of the month before the cash flow arises. An account which is removed from the composite due to the occurrence of a significant cash flow is to be included back in the composite once the account returns to fully-invested status. Additional information regarding the treatment of significant cash flows is available upon request. 13.) Actual performance of client accounts may differ substantially. 14.) Past performance is not indicative of future results. 15.) The presentation of LCM's Top Ten Equity Holdings is based on a model portfolio for informational purposes only and is shown as supplemental information to this full disclosure presentation, and should not be deemed as a recommendation to trade the securities listed. 16.) The presentation of LCM's Portfolio Characteristics is based on a model portfolio for informational purposes only and is shown as supplemental information to this full disclosure presentation. Index returns shown in the performance comparisons where provided by Standard & Poor's, Dow Jones, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, and Bloomberg. All of this information comes from sources believed by LCM to be reliable. LCM, however, cannot guarantee the accuracy of the comparative returns and therefore shall not be held liable for inaccurate information obtained from data providers. *Source Merrill Lynch, used with permission.
